Tang Tsou is a professor in the Department of Political Science and Far Eastern Languages and Civilization at the University of Chicago. He is the author of America's Failure in China, 1941-50 (Chicago, 1963).
Tsou, one of the country's senior and most widely respected China scholars, has for more than a generation been producing timely and deeply informed essays on Chinese politics as it develops. Eight of these (from a wide variety of sources) are gathered here with a substantial new introduction. Tsou considers events not simply from the point of view of a widely read political scientist (even political philosopher) and a concerned Chinese, but also in the light of history, the dynamics of Marxism-Leninism, individual personalities, and humane realism. The argument is dense and theory-harnessed, but only to the degree demanded by the subject. For all specialist collections. Charles W. Hayford, History Dept., Northwestern Univ., Evanston, Ill.
